This competition aims to encourage more creativity in the Hong Kong jewellery industry, as well as provide an opportunity for talented designers to demonstrate their brilliance,” said Raymond Yip, Assistant Executive Director of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC).

Judges of the competition include: renowned TV programme host Jaclyn Chu, acclaimed designer Judy Mann, jewellery industry representatives Stella Lee, Charles Chan and Lawrence Ma; watch and clock industry representatives Alex Chau and Joseph Chu; and a representative from the education sector Alex Fung.

The three Best of Show awards were won by “Blaze” designed by Law Ka Kin, “Star Crown” designed by Leung Hong Lam, and “Colourful World” designed by Vicki Li.
